BRATED:CORDIAIi BALM . OF °MEAD •is t h e c eee „ tainty that Ladies of Fashion and Respectability find it the most Efficacious Medical Restorative to be met with iii various Weaknesses peculiar io their Sex, gently throwing a genial warmth upon the debilitated and relaxed frame, recruiting the decayed spirite, dissipating headache, dulness, end languor,. and creating a pleasing vivacity. The great extent to which it, is used by' the Sickly, the Nervous, and the Debilitated, proves' its unrivalled merit ; to thousands of whom it is daily affording relia which no other Mcdicfne ha, supplied. • To those whom early indulgence or the Fissions—T)issipae don, or too great Reliance on Cons!inetional Strength, have been injurious ; to -the Sufferer thane Lownesa of Spirits, lleavi. nese of ;flied, Deranged Stomach, Languor, and Incapacity .far Exertion ; Ne. to those in - whom the Digestive end rvous Systems have been deranged, and coneequently labouring under irregular and pa inful action ; an d- CO: those persons who have ruined their Conetitutione; and brought on a perfect Tithes Dorsalis, by an immoderate indulgence of their passions; or in - their way to the con-emulation of that deplorable Malady are affected with W e aknesses ,rid the Obstruction of certain E'va citations, this remedy is recommended from . ample experience as the best, restorative. • A very important obser vation ma y be made in favour of this celebrated Medicine, that unless its operation-wee gentle, safe. and effincions ; it could not have obtained the unexampled demand it has acquired; for, as it has • rarely the great advan tage of a pertuivsive advocate at the ear of the Patient, an no- thing but his conviction of its Virtuee, by its salutary effect:, can induce . perseverance ; ate e t reasonable perseverance is certainly most requisite to en .C. ev en the happiest combine.

T N addressin g you, ray best Friends," for the last time, as contractor, I no feel various sensations not to be describes! ; inexpressible gratitude for years of unbounded preference and favottra bestowed for a long series of years, not 4uercly•on myself, but on my late Father. We have, it is true, as Dispensers of the favours of the Blind (indde.ss, been most eminently successful in distributing an unprecedented List of ,Capitals, amounting in tile aggregrte to many Millions; and, as Lotteries incr-ased in number, my fame for the - distribUtionof l its weahh increased also ; it .is therefore, with the sincerest regret I announce that the Legislature has come to what I con sider a very unwise decision,,viz. to abolish Lotteries. And for what reason ? only to please a few person's, who have not examined their merits, but ha - ve confounded illegal transactions with the leJtimate: I may be considered to take a partial view of the case ; but where a system has emne on without intermission ever since the reign of Queen Anne, and brought annually nearly :Haifa Million into the Treasury, I cannot but agree with an eminent writer, who says " Surely the present net.the best period for experiments;" and it would, in my bumble opinion, have been more wise to have done away with several obnoxious and paltry Taxes (vexatious in their collec tion) than to annihilate the Lottery, which, let it be well borne in mind, is a voluntary Tax ; and, by its continuance, not only might those obnoxious Taxes be removed, but hundreds of per sons kept in employment who must now he discharged ; and is this a time to add to the number of those who want tampon? It is, however, useless to repine-=the Clovernment have decided that it shall be so—and all that can be now done is.to make the most of the short time allowed before the system is abolished. As one of the last Contractors, I have arranged, with my colleagues, such a Scheme as Mist, I think, give universal satisfaction; it contains the very unprecedented number of SIX firand Prizes of £30,000 Money (no former Lottery ever con tained more than Four), and my fame for sale of £30,000 Prizes is proverbial—l sold the first, the last, and more titan half of all that have ever been drawn I—No Blanks—all Sterling Money—and all to be decided in One Day, 18th JULY., being the very last Drawing of all.

Mr. CHAPLIN presented Petitions from several pariahes in Lincoln; against the admission of Foreign,. Corn.. -,Ordered to be printed. --- The CHANCELLOR of the EXCrmuItTER moved the Orde of the thy for bringing up the Report of the Committee on the Bill for the importation of Foreign Corn. On the question being put by the SPEAKER, Sir T. LETHBRIDGE said, that as this was the last oppor tunity he should have -of snaking any observations on the ruse sure before the House, he should even himself of it lbr the purpose of staying a word or two. He felt that it was useless to oppose the measure, and he should nut, therefore, interrupt it by adopting any • course merely vexatious. Be was fully aware of the very large and powerful majority his Majesty's Ministers had commanded in this House, and he could not shut his eyes either to the equally strong support it had received in another place. Under these circumstances he should not press Ministers to give any pledge (for in point of fact they had given one already) -that nothing which had been done in regard to this measure should hereafter prejudice the question of the Corn Laws. He would haVe called on them to enter into the pledge at this moment, if he had not understood all that had been said in the House and elsewhere to mean that this measure was to answer a peculiar exigency, and was not a sample of any future measures which Ministers contemplated carrying into effect next Session, when they stood pledged to make some alteration in the Corn Laws as they at present stood. The duty now proposed (and which, not withstanding what might have been said to the contrary, he con tended was not equal to that of 1822, when it was 17s. it being now only 125.) was proposed merely to afford relief to certain districts, and they did not man it to prejudice the general ques tion. There had been efforts made in certain quarters to intimi date him from pursuing the course be had intended ; but these ef forts he despised. The opinion, he had presumed perhaps to ex press, he had troubled the House with, because he thought it'his duty to do so, and no intimidations, however gross, personal, or dangerous, could have induced bins to have teelected it. The personality exhibited towards him, he would repeat, only excited • Isis indignation and contempt. Having said this, he would not take up the time of the House by going into the question at its present stage ; he would only repeat that he protested against any futnre proposition being grounded on the one now before the House. He hoped Ministers would recollect that a pledge to this • effect had been given both in the face of the House and the coun try, and they could not at any future period, in justice to the House and their own characters, depart from it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had no hesitation in.saying, with respect to the mode in which the proceedings of this year had been effected, that Ministers had repeatedly given a pledge that it was not to be considered the foundation for a course to be pursued next year.—(Hear, hear.)—To violate such a pledge would be the shabbiest departure front their engagements. (Hear, hear.)—The measures they had proposed ought not and could not prejudice the free discussion contemplated. With respect to the intimidation referreslto by the Hon. Baronet, he (the Chan cellor of the Exchequer) would say that it was quite consistent with his character to treat it as he had. Mr. H. SUMNER said, that though he much admired the ge neral conduct of Ministers, he still considered that in proposing the measures now before the House, they did whet was neither wise as a mode of relief, nor properly conducted if it were wise. He wished to say a word to explain why he had divided the. House the other evening, this course having having been considered as vexatious. His object was to give time to his constituents to pe tition the House against going into a Committee on the Dill. A meeting did take place for this purpose on Saturday, but it was too late to effect what be desired. Sir R. HERON made a few observations which wereinaudible in the gallery. We understood him to say, that the Bill would not do mischief, it would be inoperative. He was, however, so opposed to it, that if he !net with any encouragement he would now divide the House. The Report was then brought up and read, and the Bill order ed to engrossed, and read a third titne to-morrow. WAREHOUSED CORN. On the question being. put, "tat the Report of the Committee on the Warehoused Corn Bill be brought up," Sir R. HERON said be must object to a measure, which without offering any advantage, would put so much into the pock ets of the holders of bonded coin. It was a singular fact, that the principal number of those persona who would be most benefitted, were persons residing in Liverpool. Mr. IHISKISSON said the Hon. Member seemed to refer to him (Mr.. Ilmokisson), us the Representative of LiVerpool. lie might just as reasonably charge the Hon. Baronet's opposition to his being a candidate for some great agricultural interest.— (Hear, hear.) Mr. BENETT thought his lion. Friend was justified in re ferring to Liverpool, when it was considered that it held 80,00(1 quarters, which was the largest proportion of bonded corn. He ob jected to the Rill, because, without offering any equivalent, 100,0001. would be lost to the country, and put into the pockets of the corn . ..dealers. •He should not object to the country losing such a sum, if it would relieve the distressed, but he did not think the Bill held out any such prospect. The Report was then brought up and read, and the Bill order ed to be engrossed, and read a third time to-morrow. . The Westminster Improvement Bill was read a second time. The Parochial Clergy Residents' Bill went through a Corn. mittee. _ ..... The House resumed, anal the Report was ordered to be brought 'up to-morrow. Lord NUGENT gave notice that on Monday he should present petition from Banbury respecting its representation. The other Orderi of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Five o'Clock. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, MAY 16. THE CUSTOM HOUSE. THY ZING V. VETO, Mr. WALTEIL opened the case by stating, that this was an action on a bond given to his Majesty by the defendant, and an other person named Miles, now deceased, that a new Custom House should be built in the City of Loudon, according to cer tain plans and specifications. The Arrousaw.Gmitat. stated the ease. lie said that pro ceedings were instituted against the defendant, to recover the penalty of the bond, in consequence of the Custom House having been so ill constructed as to fall down suddenly ; in order that the part of the loss sustained thereby by the country might be thrown on, the shoulders of Mr. Peto. Ily the contract, Mr. Pete was bound to complete the work for the sum of 186,0001. that was exclusive of the charge of 12,0001. to which he was entitled fur the piling of the building. The building was commenced in the year 1813, and completed in the year 1818 ; the entire charge amounted to 370,0001. more than double the amount contracted for originally ; the Cemmistioners were ex tremely dissatisfied with the charges, and after having paid 300,0001. they refused paying any more. In consequence there of, Mr. Pato commenced proceedings against the Commissioners ; in the mean time, fears were entertained respecting the stability of the buildings—the walls were cracked in several places, and they appeared to be in a tottering state. The melte was formerly a part of the bed of the River Thames, hut it rested on a solid stratum of hard gravel, which was was 12 feet deep, and into which it was necessary the piles should be driven for the support of a building of such weight and magnitude as the Custom-house. Prom the specification, it appeared that the defendant was bound to procure a necessary number of engines, for the purpose of two p ii f i ee g t do in w to n to u a t m ‘ i vl h ie e n w an al exa ah m o h t i o ati l t r et ve loo tb k e pl p a i c les e, the e ra g v r e a l v — el it appeared that the piles were not of the length stated in the spe cification, nor did they reach near the gravel. There was no complaint of the external appearance of the building-.-.an immense cluitm, however, was discovered in the King's warehouses, and before the cause could be ascertained, one pier sunk 9 feet, and an other four feet—the warehouses then sunk into the cellars ; and this circumstance would put the public to the expence of 100,0001. Several witnesses were then called to establish the facts set forth by the Attorney-General; and the case having dosed on behalf of the Crown, Mr. Scsauvre addressed the Jury. for the defendant, he said that Mr. Peto was merely the builder on this Occasion, and was bound to follow the instruction of the Government agents, which by the directions of Mr: Day and he had done to' the letter,-if he had refused to obey their orders Inspectors; he had made the piles of he might have been dismissed--he was obliged, from time to time, iivttohterm.lentagetaglt,d..rirege,ownpasbyivnernhthielptilostnspecii,rtiof Works,...ther were liable to a cOnstruetio n o f a b r i ck wall more early decay on account of the' by the Government officere, in auch-asitnetion as to prevent the • • piles from being immersed in the water as was originally intended. It had-been said on the GoVernment vide that there was fraud and collusion between Mr. Peto and Mr. Laing, with respect to n-es surement and other things. : Mr. Peto wee anxious et e w e e,, ei vernment inspectors should extunine every thing he did, an d i t • - was not consistent with the known fairness of the AtterneyeG el i e . eel to endeavour to excite a prejudice against Mr. Pau, by ing the Jury that a Government agent welt proaecuted forenter ing into a - collusion with him to defraud the public. With re gard to the complaint which had been made respecting the thu-,' bet, Mr. Peto hod nothing to do with it, as he was bound to pur chase the timber from the Government agents. The Learned Counsel concluded an eloquent address in exculpation of his client, on the ground that he was in no instance permitted to exercise hie own judgment with regard to the construction or lA, *lilt; and the f ther hearing was adjourned until yaitaday. • COND DAY, MAY 17, ra .FOR TM! DIRYIN Mr. John Co ' and examined by Mr. COALMOX*RiTtn CEA wr.---1 was , npley of Mr. Peto in_lBl3, and for years before that. I Wai *is general foreman at the first part of the building of the Custom-house. I have been forty years employed in works of that description. Mr. James 'Day was clerk of the works in the year /818, acting under the orders of Mr, Laing, the architect. I received orders from Mr. Day with regard tit getting the level of the old vaults. Ile told me to take the Ito ascertain the depth of the old vaults, below the curb-stone ia Thames-street. I took an account so far as levelling, and thou things. After clearing away the rubbish, we began to dig for our footings under the direction of Mr. Day; 4 feet 6 was the depth we were to go ; beloW that level we found a great number of old walla some were of brick and stone, and HOMO constructed with oak and chalk. When-they resisted the piles, we applied to Mr. Day. I heard Mr. Peto several times speak to Mr. Day about the discovery of old walls ; he had heard him say it was better to take them all away and place York landings. Mr. Day said be would take away the walls where he thought fit; he Rave such directions regularly. The first pile was, I believe, driven the beginning of July ; it was of oak. Mr. Day said there should be no more oak piles, the timber was to be beech. There was no beech then driven, and the work waited until they were supplied. I saw the beech timber supplied ; it was of a very good quality, and was driven under the direetiene of Mr. Day. I heard Mr. Peto name to Mr. Day, when the pile-driving bagan there, he wished he would appoint someperson to see to the pile, driving, as he (Mr. Peto) could not attend to it. A person *tented. Mullins was appointed by Mr. Day ; I think he came about two days after the beginning of the pile-driving. The pile drive ing for the Long-room commenced about three months .after, Mr. Day gave Mullins orders to see that the monkey struck the pile-head a certain number of times, In the first instance, we cut oil with an axe the projection* on the piles, and did so for several days; we were afterwarde. ordered not to hew off the knots, hut to preserve the bark, Red only to sharpen. the end where the shoe was to go on. It was .a very laborie ous operation, and the works were suspended for seven week,. I did not perceive at the time that the oaken timber was ins jured ; but it was not used, in consequence of the ohjece Con of Mr. Day, and new timber we* then brought, There were front 120 to 130 loath, of the timber not used, Mr. Day was at the works every day, and Mr. Mullins attended to the driving of the piles. The planking commenced almost directly, and followed the piling in each place. Mr. Peto objected to the mode of planking directed by Mr. Day; 'if the timber should give way, it would make a great cavity. Mr. Day persisted in his order. I went down to Morden, in Surrey, to select two lots of timber ; it was the most excellent I ever saw ; that was in August, 1813 ; and in February, 1814, the timber deserved the same character. Mr. Peto said to Mr. Day, that where the columns were to stand at the west wing, -the weight would he so heavy, that he wished to have oak piles; to which Mr, Day ob jected, but be would consider **boot it, and in the course of three days there was to order to driVe oak piles. It was at .tle) east and west wing, and not at the main body, they were driven. I took the measurement of the greatest part of the piles. I know of no one instance in which Mr. Day's orders were not strictly complied with. I was employed •by the Conimieeioners of the Customs to build the new wharf wall. I know not of any effect that wall would produce, except that it would prevent the water from getting to the foundation. I think it was woe ter-tight. Cross-examined by Mr. Arecnourv-CirsERAL.--Bowe part of the work was let out as task-work. Some of the beech piling under the Long Room was given out as task.work. Believed the price given was aid. per foot. Never knew them bore for the gravel from time to time. Head they had been boring for the gravel before the pile-driving began. Many of the piles were crooked. None were so short as six feet when put tin der the engine. Re-examined.--It was usual to let out such work;. be thought that beech was not fit timber; some of the piles were cut by Mr. Day's orders ; n great number of persons were at the works, whQ suggested alterations that were Made. Gorge Leyburne, examined by Mr. SCAU I.llrre. —I was there at the beginning of driving the pike; Mr. Day was the clerk of the works ; when the Monkey recoils from the head of the pile, they cull it bottonreel ; he went to Mr. Day, to come and see if the first pike driven were bottomed; he said he could not mine. Mr. Peto came in, and said to Mr. Day that he should not he satisfied unless he saw all the piles bottomed; Mr. Day said be could not attend to them all—when Mr. Peto said that a person should be appointed for that purpose, and Mr. Day appointed Mullins for that purpose, who was always there. Ile went to the heap of piles, and cut them to the length that Mr. Day ordered. They were then shod. When Mr. Day could get down the pile as far as he wished, he had it cut off, and sometimes had another driven by it—he ordered some of the short piles to be cut off so as to range with the sleepers; som e ti mes th e pil es t on g ne i t h er the planb nor the sleepers. All the piles, without any exception, were chosen by Mr. Day. When I thought them too small for thelieevy part oft the building, I threw thorn on one side for the lighter part. The piles of the part that has come down are all beech. I never drove any beech piles but at the Custom-home, and it will decay sooner than any other wood if not kept under water. I men tioned this to Mr. Day at the early part of the work ; he said that it was wood chosen by Mr. Bennie. Belied seen the ground under neath ; in his opinion it was net fit far piles to he driven into, After the first floor of the building was up, the groin of one .of the arches gave way. I advised Mr. Day to clear t 4 fOon,latlon all away, and support the column upon an inverted arch. Mi. Day said it would i o very well as it wait. When they first be gan the piling, the tido flowed in every tide; if beech is under water it will last longer. There were old drain under the (nun dation I know where the wharf wall is built ; l worked about the bottom ; the building of that wall ' prevented the water from flowing in, and kept the foundation dry, The timber used was all new and sound, it waelgreen, it had sot been lung cut. It is allowed to be best green. I never heard that it was better for the hark being on. When the piles were ell driven, Mr. Lair:greet Mullins a pound to get something to drink. lie did not recollect one order of Mr. Dare being disobeyed. Mr. &ARUM said that, as it was admitted upon the ricord that Mr. Peto had given his opinion that piling was an improper mode, he need not prove it. Witness cross-examined by Mr. Soeterrou-theatraate,;--The piles were all seleeted by Day,.end not by Mullins—knew nothing about how many piles were driven under six feet in length ; the driving 'WU 14'4 Day to Maine, hot the selecting of the straight or crooked piles he reserved to Muskat'.
